Wasn’t this previously occupied by the Presidio Trust’s first executive director (James Meadows, as I recall)? It is a beautiful house in a stunning location that appears to have recently undergone some interior renovations as well as some landscape upgrades. Even at $15,000 a month, I don’t think the Trust will have any trouble renting it.

Here’s one for the rent vs buy analysis people to chew on. Rents must come down or salaries must increase for people to afford this kind of property!!! This craziness cannot go on forever so I’m just going to keep buying property until this insanity corrects itself.

From what I hear, the Trust has had no problem whatsoever renting its uber-expensive properties. As I understand things, some of the renters are homeowners who have cashed out and chosen to rent temporarily rather than buy again. And besides, what they offer is utterly unique: historic homes in a National Park. The good news is that the rents go toward maintenace of the park, so I’m hoping the Trust can squeeze every last nickel out of these properties.

My family lived in this house as its last military tenets when the Presidio was still a military base.
It’s a fantastic house in a fantastic location. I walked to the Golden Gate Bridge every day to catch the bus for school. It’s a short walk to the World War II Memorial and the beach. We were lucky to live in such an interesting place, we certainly never could have afforded to live in it at this price.
